Anyone, who doesn’t tread the „destroy Israel“ party line gets banned from !politics@lemmy.world
Edit: although people here hate Israel and different opinions with a passion, nobody could cite the actual rule I broke.
Genocide is violence that’s targeted at individuals of a specific group because of their membership of said group in order to destroy the whole.
You reply that 40,000 isn’t enough since the most recent war? It starts over 100 years ago. How many need to die? All of their land but two small portions has been taken. Culture destroyed. Homes taken. Many killed.
No one with any human decency thinks like this. Read a book before you continue to cite non-existent facts.
Blocked.
Intent to destroy isn’t evident. The IDF took ample precautions against civilian deaths.
We don’t know how many combatants are among the 40,000. The only number available is the IDF estimate of 15,000. Hamas and other militant groups only publish their martyred combatants a while after hostilities have concluded and international attention has withdrawn.
A combatant to civilian death ratio of 1:3 would be fairly good for a war in a dense urban environment against a deeply entrenched and fortified enemy.
Also is you compared the destruction of buildings to the number of dead, it’s obvious that mostly empty buildings were destroyed.
Palestinian culture is very much alive in Israel and Palestine.
If you want to go over the last 100 years of this conflict, pay attention to the number of deaths. October 7th 2023 had the most deaths in a single day of the whole conflict. The ensuing Gaza war then followed up with likely more deaths in a year, than over the whole conflict combined including Arab armies.
Lots of terrible things happened before this war, but they don’t amount to genocide.
What’s been happening here is a watering down of the crime of genocide, just to demonize Israel.
